Pc Crashing on fullscreen gaming or furmark

Casper'sclouds · 6 Feb 2015 at 10:08

Hi guys, feel free to move this to a more suitable section.

The problem, Yesterday i cleaned my PC with compressed air (just cleaned off the fans and dust catchers) and after, my PC has started to restart whenever i run a game in fullscreen or run furmark at any settings. The restart is instant the second it opens either of the above it restarts. However, i can still run BF4 in ultra as long as it's borderless. So i'm very confused. Any help would be really appreciated.

PC SPECS:
intel i7 4770k
16gb hyperx ram
seagate 2TB hdd
asus GTX 770
nxt 1050w modular psu
msi z87 gd65

hmm.. I had this before. Never found the cause, but I found later that my CPU was overheating, suggest focusing your efforts there. When was your last pasting? Air/ liquiq cooled?

System is air cooled, last pasting was just before christmas, gpu was showing 23 degrees when i opened furmarks this morning, cpu was around 40 degrees.
cheers,

hmm... not that then.
you got hwmonitor, may be PSU tripping out, see if the voltages fluctuate a lot

Reseat your ram and gpu.

No joy :/ everything visually is running fine and temps are still really low any other ideas guys?

no luck checking the PSU either?

Got hwmonitor running whilst I'm out will post a screenshot of it running idle and under load.

porushinobu · 6 Feb 2015 at 12:52

cant remember which voltages to look out for, but when certain ones fluctuate too much it means the PSU is on its way out

First link is to the hwmonitor when idle and the second is to when cs:go is running fullscreen, cheers

from watching the Voltages the only one that fluctuates is the vcore

porushinobu · 6 Feb 2015 at 15:19

nah ! your good there it seems,

do you have onboard graphics? if so can you test it and see if it crashes?

Casper'sclouds · 6 Feb 2015 at 15:41

Just ran BF4 using the MB graphics and didn't restart. I did send the GPU off over decemeber and they said it was fine.

Casper'sclouds · 6 Feb 2015 at 15:43

I can still run CS:GO maxed out with no issues so guessing its a problem under load :/

mushtafa · 6 Feb 2015 at 20:06

Perhaps it's a driver issue as it's only doing it in fullscreen mode?

Casper'sclouds · 6 Feb 2015 at 20:23

I'll try to reinstall drivers tomorrow

If your wanting to check PSU voltages you need HWiNFO64,Hwmonitor's readings on the PSU rails are nowhere near accurate,HwInfo's is
